5.7.2
Adding Ports to a VLAN

to not put loops within the VLAN.
5.7.3
Configuring VLAN Trunk Ports
The RS supports standards-based VLAN trunking between multiple RS’s as defined by IEEE 802.1Q. 802.1Q adds a
header to a standard Ethernet frame which includes a unique VLAN ID per trunk between two RS’s. These VLAN IDs
extend the VLAN broadcast domain to more than one RS.
To configure a VLAN trunk, enter the following command in the Configure mode.
Create a VLAN.
vlan create
<vlan-name> <type>
id
<num>
Add ports to a VLAN.
vlan add ports
<port-list>
to
<vlan-name>
Configure 802.1Q VLAN trunks.
vlan make
<port-type> <port-list>
